This computer has had plex running it for about 4 years with no issues until today. Plex is running fine, when I tried to update plex, via downloading .deb and dpkg -i, I get the below errror. also some info about my mem. Do I have bad ram?

Code:root@horchata:/home/erik/Downloads# dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.25.1.5286-34f965be8_amd64.deb
